Multiway pots (3+ players) require significant adjustments from heads-up strategies because equity is distributed among more players and the probability that someone holds a strong hand increases substantially. Bluffing frequencies must be drastically reduced in multiway pots, as the bettor needs all opponents to fold for a bluff to succeed. The MDF concept becomes more complex as each opponent must independently defend. Value betting in multiway pots requires stronger hands due to increased domination risk, and small sizings are less effective for protection.
